Because the phrase "Sylar to her Peter Petrelli" never gets old...
I have a gaming request. It may not be too weird for Wikipedia to help, but I haven't figured out how to make WIkipedia help yet.

Animalia, the animal mimic, needs a nemesis. She's got one in Chimera, who is Sylar to her Peter Petrelli, so to speak. She mimics animals through magic, while he uses genetic mapping to kill animals and graft their notable traits into his battlesuit.

In a twist that I was personally proud of, although I botched the geek-gasm punchline horrifically,* Chimera's suit is scientific, but it uses a magical catalyst. The suit that Animalia captured contained the skull of St. Francis of Assisi in a crystalline matrix, giving Animalia some hints as to how Chimera gets his power.

Chimera escaped, but Animalia reclaimed the skull of Saint Francis and subsequently freed it. This means that the next time Chimera returns, I need for him to have captured another skull of another famous person-who-does-stuff-with-animals. So far, I've got Tarzan (John Clayton, lord of Greystoke) and Doctor John Dolittle.

Oddly, Wikipedia fails to have a page for "List of Fictional or Mythological Characters who Imitate or Communicate with Animals". This is a major oversight, in my opinion.

* I initially got my old religious guys mixed up and said that it was the skull of Thomas Aquinas, which, you know, would be great, if Chimera were a battlesuited villain who drew upon the doctrine of first causes to think his enemies to death. The Damsel forgave me, having known that I meant Francis of Assisi anyway...
